The summer months have arrived, meaning NFL teams will soon be entering training camp and we’ll begin the journey to the start of yet another NFL (and fantasy football) campaign.

Between free agency, trades and the NFL Draft, the offseason has seen several moves that will affect the fantasy wide receiver position. Davante Adams signing with the Rams, DK Metcalf being traded to Pittsburgh, George Pickens being traded to Dallas, Deebo Samuel Sr. being deal to Washington, Cooper Kupp going to the Great Northwest and Stefon Diggs landing in New England were some of the biggest moves among the veterans.

Among the rookies, the most notable moves were Tetairoa McMillan landing in Carolina, Travis Hunter going to Jacksonville after a massive draft-day trade, and Emeka Egbuka going to Tampa Bay. Still others, like Matthew Golden going to Green Bay, Jayden Higgins landing in Houston, Tre Harris going to the Chargers and Luther Burden III going to the Windy City will also alter the values of past veteran starters in the majority of fantasy leagues.

That’s just a few of the moves that will have an impact on 2025 fantasy redrafts.

While many of the receivers in the top 20 are incumbents, you’ll notice a major move for Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR12) compared to his rookie ranking.  The same goes for Brian Thomas Jr., who I have seventh at the position. Puka Nacua is still in the top 10, even while sharing targets with Adams in Hollywood. Metcalf is a riser with the Steelers, as he’ll now be catching passes from a future Hall of Famer in Aaron Rodgers. He has WR1 fantasy upside.   

On the flip side, Samuel Sr. drops to WR40 as a member of the Commanders. With Pickens now in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb, he has dropped out of the top 40 and is now more of a flex starter. Kupp, now in Seattle, comes in at WR4. I’m not a fan of older, injury-prone wideouts changing teams (and leaving Sean McVay’s system), so buyer beware.

Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy wide receiver rank lists.
